"I’m very willing to leverage my celebrity. If it means that I have to come and sing at your kid’s bar mitzvah, I’m very available. Whatever it takes."

The Jersey-born rocker may have started out "Livin’ On A Prayer," but he’s now got plenty of earthly riches upon which to fall back. Over the past two years, his eponymous band has pulled in $185 million, of which he keeps the lion’s share. Lately he’s been devoting more time to philanthropy and gladly leveraging his celebrity for good; his Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation has doled out $6 million to alleviate homelessness and hunger over the past six years. His latest project: a recommended donation restaurant called the Soul Kitchen in Red Bank, N.J. that has served over 10,000 meals since its debut a year ago.
